AAAA Records

Each device that's connected to the web has a unique identifier referred to as IP (Internet Protocol) address. This includes personal computers, web servers, smart phones, switches, and so on. The pool of IP addresses, that was introduced at first, has been distributed, hence the so-called IPv4 IP addresses are progressively getting replaced with IPv6 addresses. Every domain which opens a website comes with an IP record, which is the address of the server where it's hosted. Using the IPv4 system, the record is called A and it is comprised of four sets of numbers from 1 to 255 divided using a dot, while with the IPv6 system it's called AAAA and it is made up of eight sets of hexadecimal numbers i.e. this sort of records use digits from 0 to 9 and letters from A to F. An illustration of an AAAA record is 2010:0c48:43d3:2142:1012:8c3a:2475:2435 and this format is designed for a substantially bigger amount of IPs in comparison with the IPv4 format.

The cutting-edge Hepsia hosting CP, bundled with our cloud hosting, will enable you to create a new AAAA record effortlessly. Once you are within the account and you visit the DNS Records section, you will find all records that you have for every hosted domain or a subdomain under it. All it takes to set up the AAAA record is to click the New Record button, to pick the domain/subdomain in question, pick AAAA and then only input or copy and paste the IPv6 address. We've got a step-by-step guide if you've never created records for your domains, but it's extremely unlikely that you'll need it as Hepsia is much easier to make use of in comparison with other Control Panels available. Within an hour your new record is going to be active and your domain name shall start resolving to the servers of the other service provider. Additionally, there is an option to change the TTL value, which shows how long this record is going to be active if you update it, from the default 3600 seconds to any value the other service provider may require.
